One of the most exciting new features about the iPhone 8 and
iPhone X is the inclusion of Qi wireless charger compatibility. These
charging pads eliminate the annoying process of making sure your phone
is plugged in. Instead, one must simply drop their phone on top of one
of these affordable mats to begin the charging process. Another great
feature that some of these charging pads include is “QC,” also known as
quick charging. This feature allows for far more rapid charge times. One
important thing to note, however, is that not all of these chargers
include an AC adapter; four of them are USB only. Therefore, it is key
that if you intend to use your charger directly connected to the wall,
that you purchase the appropriate item, number four on our list.
All that out of the way, here’s the five best Qi wireless chargers for iPhone 8 and X from lowest to highest price.

1. Choetech Wireless Charging Pad

Choetech

This wireless charging pad is great for users who want to use Qi
charging to power up their new iPhone 8 or X. It boasts a small form
factor, can charge through a thick case, and has a blue LED light to
indicate that it’s connected. This is a solid choice if you want a
USB-powered charger and are using one of the smaller versions of the
phones- such as the iPhone 8 or iPhone X. It’s a great car or home
charger at a great price.
Price: $12.99 (35 percent off MSRP)

2. Otium Wireless Charger

Otium

This Otium wireless charger and stand is an excellent choice for user
who wants a charger, but also a stand for charging their iPhone 8 or
iPhone X. Boasting smart lighting, a 30 day warranty, and compatible
with both vertical and horizontal charging, this device provides a lot
of options. Plus, it boasts Quick Charge functionality (adapter is
required), meaning it can charge your phone up to 1.4x faster than
devices without QC functionality.
Price: $18.19 (39 percent off MSRP)

3. Anker Wireless Charging Pad (Editor’s Choice)

Anker

Anker is a brand that has risen to the top for good reason: they make
great, reliable products. While this charger may not offer the best bang
for the buck, it’s as reliable as they come. Boasting a fast charge
mode, a non-slip pad, and an 18 month warranty with great customer
service, it’s everything one could want from a wireless charger. While
it’s not the cheapest way to go, it does it all, including Quick Charge
functionality, but you’ll have to add a wall charger ($15.99 on Amazon). Still, if you want to never worry about the reliability of your charger, Anker is the way to go.
Price: $21.99 (69 percent off MSRP)

4. Seneo Wireless Charger

Seneo

For those who want their phone to charge from a wall socket and are
intent on using the QC (Quick Charge) functionality, this wireless
charger does it all. Boasting an intelligent LED indicator, an 18 month
warranty, and the ability to charge through some cases (though it’s
recommended you remove the case), this charger is a great buy. It also
boasts four anti-slip rubber feet to ensure stability. For those who
want a wireless charger with QC out of the box, this is the way to go.
That said, the benefit to a USB charger is that one can charge their
device using a laptop or similar USB outlet; this is one minor drawback
to an AC-only charger.
Price: $26.99 (46 percent off MSRP)

5. Wireless Charger Stand

YOUSTOO

This YOUSTOO model is great for people who want a suction-cup stand
for their vehicle. It includes two installation options: suction cup or
air vent mount, meaning it should work with virtually every model of
vehicle. It boasts a 180 day money back guarantee and includes a DC to
USB adapter for quick and easy set-up. It also boasts QC functionality
out of the box, which can reduce total charging time by up to 50 minutes
for certain models of phone (and possibly the iPhone 8 and X). This is a
great way to go for those looking to charge while driving.
Price: $28.99
